takes as its argument a string in any character set and returns it in Unicode in the database Unicode character set. To include UCS2 codepoint characters in the string, use the escape backslash (\) followed by the next number. To include the backslash itself, precede it with another backslash (\\).

... USING
function, except that UNISTR
offers the escape character for UCS2 codepoints and backslash characters.
